Coastin with Collin

Had the honor of sitting down and catching up with Travis Harper once again. Travis catches us up with his current and future business endeavors, things to better our communities, and also shares some life advice along the way.

We may plan our steps, but it's the Lord's plan that prevails. 

In Mark Chapter 2, Jesus healed a paralyzed man because of his friend's faith. This is why your circle matters.

Some of us don't understand why we are where we are in life. Some of us say we wish we could of lived in a different era. However, perhaps we are here for such a time as this. 

When were lead to something, especially after much prayer and consideration, and we're not seeing any results, what do we do then?

If you want to impact someone, you have to get up close. Instead of always passing the problem along to someone else, be the change you want to see in the world, take personal responsibility, and start working on a solution for that problem. When you point a finger, three point back to you. Evil will always triumph if good men and good women do nothing. 

You are not what you do, you are not what you have, and you are not what other people think of you. So, who are you?  Book mentioned in podcast tonight is Emotional, Healthy, Spirituality by Peter Scazzero 

Happy Easter 2022! Its never too late and you are never too far gone to make a last second decision. Just look to a man who did so about 2,000 years ago. Looking at Luke 23: 32-43 on today's episode. 

The world has been very chaotic since we last had a one-on-one chat with each other. I wanted to take this episode to remind everyone the power of prayer and how important it is to always seek Jesus.

I have learned way more than just 20 things during this time spent in my 20's, but all of these are lessons very near to my heart. 

Tonight I have the honor of interviewing my good buddy Travis Harper. Step aside Dos Equis guy, Travis Harper truly is the most interesting man in the world. We discuss a wide range of topics over the course of this episode, from traveling with Travis, to hanging out with Dave Chapelle, serving Margot Robbie on one knee, Dude Ranches in Wyoming, bringing Charlie Crockett to Eastern North Carolina, Travis owning Stanley's Saloon in Kinston, NC, future business plans for Travis, to stories from Vietnam, its all in here.

If your like me, sometimes life will have your mind racing and overthinking and anxiety creeps in. Those feelings are ok, we all have our good days and bad days. Remember win one day at a time, if you can't do a day, win the hour, if you can't do that, win the half hour, or fifteen minutes, or even just win one minute at a time. Those one minute do and will add up to even greater victories.  Book mentioned in episode: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charles Mackesy. https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Mole-Fox-Horse/dp/0062976583  January 2022 C Wiggs Book Club Book of the Month: The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the battle of Little Bighorn by Nathaniel Philbrick https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/Last-Stand---Custer--Sitting-Bull--and-the-Battle-of-the-Little-Big-Horn-9780670021727 Please subscribe and review and thank you for listening!

Reading, whether it comes in the form of reading articles, magazines, books, letters, newspapers, etc. is important. As President Truman once said "Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers." I talk about reading in this episode, C Wiggs Book Club, and the August 2021 book of the month. 

We never know who is listening, so always be on guard. A sermon meant for a few might be heard by several. 

When Jesus walked out of that tomb, it allowed us to fill it with our baggage, our sins, our worries behind in it and walk with Him. 

What to do when we receive direction but want to flee the other way?

At the Red Sea with nowhere to turn, have we have received direction without the details?

Series finale of This isn't what I pictured. You have such a great impact on others, but it might not be like you pictured.
